In this article we are going to show some tools that can be used to develop reports
to Oracle e-Business Suite. Most of organizations that have installed Oracle
Applications have their data base systems with a lot of data about their business.
However their data is trapped inside the database, being very difficult to find it
and to convert into valuable information, very important to make decisions to run
the business.

Knowing all the problems regarding reporting, Oracle has a number of offerings
helping organizations to solve the reporting needs they have. Some of these tools
are part of Oracle E-Business 11i and others are Oracle products that access the
data stored in Oracle Applications database.

The most common reporting tools for Oracle Applications are:
. Oracle Reports: the fixed format reports delivered with the 11i release were built
on this tool. Nowadays, this is the most used tool for reporting on Oracle
Applications. Most of reports customizations are built with this tool.
. Oracle Discoverer: is an intuitive tool for creating reports and performing
on-line analysis. Discoverer uses the EUL (End User Layer), a metadata definition,
which hides the complexity of the database from the end user and provides easy to
use wizards for creating reports to suite individual needs.
. Oracle XML Publisher: is a new Oracle tool for reporting. It enables users to
utilize a familiar desktop tool, like MS Word or MS Excel, to create and maintain
their own report. At runtime, XML Publisher merges the custom templates with the
concurrent request extracts data to generate output in PDF, HTML, RTF and EXCEL.
. RXi Report: (Variable reports) - variable format reports delivered with the
E-Business 11i. With this tool a user have the ability to print the same report with
multiple layouts. This tool is most used on Oracle Financials Applications.
. FSG Reports (Financial Statement Generator): is a powerful report building tool
for Oracle General Ledger. Some of benefits of using this tool are that a user can
generate financial reports, generate presentation quality, design custom financial
reports and schedule reports to run automatically.
. Business Intelligence System (BI): is a set of tools to provide high level
information for the managers (decision makers) to run their business. The
information this tool provides helps managers to take the right decision with the
daily data that is upload on their systems.

Applications are never going to meet all the requirements in every organization.
